GOTO SUMIO MUSEUM

Welcome to the Goto Sumio Museum

The Goto Sumio Museum is in Kamifurano, a town at the foot of Mt. Tokachi, which is in the Daisetsu Range of Hokkaido. Drawn by the vastness of harsh Hokkaido, in 1987, the Japanese watercolorist Sumio Goto set up a studio on a hill in Kamifurano with a beautiful view of Mt. Tokachi. In 1997, this leading Japanese artist turned the property into a museum. Goto has traveled to Kyoto, Nara, and all over the country to capture its four lovely seasons: the cherry blossoms of spring, the fresh verdure of summer, the brilliant foliage of autumn, and the tranquil blanket of snow in winter. You can see them all here at the Goto Sumio Museum.
